Maefan 1965 Journal way home - let us get to about 150 m. before flying. Was impressed by lack of Arctic Terns - possibly due to ice cover on lakes. Hersawik, accept for ca. 150-30m. near around perimeter, is completely ice-covered. Few loons or near, but otherwise nothing around. Also saw fewer sabines, probably because colay was not located. On way in observe large ice pile-up on beach. In one place blocks of ice 12-3 ft. thick and to 10 ft. dia. piles ca. 25 feet high. Major pile-up extends ca. 200 m. by South Salt Lagoon. Other lesser piles along beach. Biggest pile extends onto beach about 50 feet - tremendous pressure required to move that weight of ice around. Open water about 100m. our - do squaws, few Steller's Eier [illegible]. 12 Jul Barrow, Alaska Waited for visitor until 2:15, then gave up and went out to set lines V + VI and VII + VIII. VII + VIII, in central marsh, are very wet - sat. to standing water our entire length of lines - and devoid of sign. Central Marsh is now empty of birds - The change seems remarkable! Lanning right on V + VI is better - few live animals seen. Not too much more in bird life.
